SO, Weekends suck!

So, weekends suck. Don’t they ?

Because you are expected to be Superman on weekends. And who sets these high standards? YOU.

The weekday i-am-at-work moron YOU.

“Arrgh! the damn bulb’s not working? Oh! I can live another 3 days without that, I come here to sleep anyway. I can change and watch TV in that dark. It’s a work-day, I’ve work, I’ll fix this on the weekend”

“Great! the tap is leaking! Weekend. Let’s tighten this up this weekend, or some weekend, but it’s gotta be a weekend. It’s not like the city will get flooded if it leaks a little.”

“Laundry. Weekend”

“Send the courier. Weekend”

“Yes Boss. I din’t get to see that report. Tell you what, I’ll read it up this weekend.”

“Man, I missed gym 5 times this week. Well, there’s the weekend.”

“Theatre Classes? Interesting. I’ll join this weekend”

“Oh, I’ll settle all these bills this weekend.”

“This looks good. Let’s catch this movie, this weekend.”

“I’m going to find my thing. And then pursue that thing, this weekend”

“Where’s my life heading to? What am I doing in life? Let’s do some self-talking this weekend”

“Sure S, Let’s lunch this weekend.”

“That sound great E, Let’s lunch this weekend”

“A’rite then A, I’ll catch up for lunch this weekend”

“So N, let’s do brunch this weekend”

“Let’s party this weekend”

“Let’s climb the EVEREST this weekend”

I bet God goes, “Oh man! … bomb blasts, hurricanes, rising oil prices, global warming … yeah, let’s fix this all up this weekend”.

And none of these really happen!

I’m sure even G just sits on his big recliner thinking,
“Oh c’mmon, it’s a weekend, it’s been a hard week. Lemme just lay around for a while. And it’s just Saturday afternoon now, we got the whole night and a full day. And it’s a weekend, you gotta have fun.”

That’s the other stressful part of the weekend. You just GOTTA HAVE FUN! There’s no other way about it.

And, having fun is very stressful.
Having fun, is the number one cause for depression.

You could be doing what’s generally regarded as fun stuff, and you suddenly become very 'aware' and start asking yourself:

“Am I having fun? Is this fun in enough? Is this any fun? What is fun?
I’m 100 quid low and 7 drinks high, I better be having fun.
Ok now, have-fun, have-fun, have-fun, have-fun … oh ****, 100 bucks!”

SO, it’s a Sunday late afternoon, and I’ve to send 2 reports, settle my bills, read a book, fix my phone, fix my room, fix my head, watch a movie, meet 3 people at different dinner venues, and save gotha…(woooops). Nothing. That’s it. So you have a happy weekend!
